How to Care for Your New Glass Shower Screen
If you have recently had a new glass shower screen installed in your bathroom, it is essential to take care of it properly. The screen can become stained and dirty if you don't clean and maintain it correctly. This blog post will discuss the four steps you should take to care for your new shower screen. Read on to find out more!
1. Clean your shower screen regularly
Shower screens can quickly become covered in soap scum, hard water deposits and mildew. If left unchecked, these buildups can lead to permanent stains and damage the finish of the glass. In addition, they can provide a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause illness. For these reasons, it is essential to clean your shower screen regularly. Various commercial cleaners are available, or you can make your own using white vinegar and water.
2. Do not use chemicals or abrasive materials to clean the screen
While reaching for harsh chemicals or abrasive materials may be tempting, these can damage the glass, making it challenging to keep clean in the long run. Instead, opt for a mild cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently rub the surface of the screen in a circular motion, and follow the next step to rinse away any cleaner thoroughly.
3. Rinse the screen with warm water after cleaning it.
It is also important to rinse the shower screen with warm water after cleaning it. Doing so will help to remove any cleaning products that may be left on the screen and will also help to prevent water spots from forming. In addition, rinsing the shower screen with warm water will help to loosen any soap scum or deposits that have formed on the screen.
4. Dry the screen with a soft towel after rinsing it
It's important to dry your shower screen with a soft towel after rinsing it for two main reasons. First, if you don't dry it off, the water will create mineral deposits on the glass, which are difficult to remove. Second, dampness creates the perfect environment for mould and mildew to grow, which can be difficult to remove once it takes hold. By taking the time to dry the screen after each use, you'll help keep it looking clean and new for longer.
By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure your shower screen looks like new for years to come.
